When to pursue a protective or restraining order

Divorce and child custody cases can, unfortunately, become messy. If at any point in time you feel unsafe during the legal proceedings, you may want to speak to your lawyer about obtaining a protective or restraining order. You may be uncertain of what constitutes this kind of legal action. An order such as this should be carried out in cases of harassment or stalking, especially if there the other party has a history of violence against you or others.
